"Mr. Ji, are you acquainted with the Chu family?"
After the explanation, Old Hua asked with a hint of confusion.
Chu Yi pondered for a moment and replied, "I know of them, but not intimately."
"…" Old Hua couldn't quite follow his train of thought and decided to get straight to the point, "Mr. Ji, let's continue discussing our collaboration."
Chu Yi had already made up his mind and said directly, "China aims to cultivate more Biotics Men, right?"
"I can indeed make that happen, and easily at that. I can turn anyone into a Biotics Man or a martial artist in a short amount of time."
"Anyone?" Old Hua frowned slightly, skeptical.
To his knowledge, even within the most elite martial arts families, there were many who could never cross the threshold into martial arts due to a lack of innate talent.
Even if Mr. Ji were a land immortal from hundreds of years ago, with an understanding of martial arts surpassing any current martial arts family,
He wouldn't dare claim he could make anyone a martial artist in a short time, would he?
Wasn't that an overstatement?
Wang Yunlong and the others, including Chen Xiaobai, were somewhat incredulous.
In their understanding,
Perhaps there were some commonalities between the cultivation systems of martial artists and Biotics Men.
But whether martial artists or Biotics Men, only a very small fraction of people with exceptional talent could become one.
And the national plan to educate everyone to become Biotics Men was only meant to unearth more of them.
They never considered the possibility of turning everyone into Biotics Men; that would be utterly fanciful.
Watching everyone's slightly dubious yet restrained expressions,
Chu Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Don't believe me?"
Wang Yunlong and the others exchanged glances, not daring to respond, and turned to look at Old Hua.
Old Hua gave a wry smile and said, "Mr. Ji, it's not that we don't trust you. We've all witnessed your abilities, but what you're saying… it really goes beyond our understanding."
Chu Yi was speechless.
If you don't believe it, just say so. Why beat around the bush and pad the word count?
Well, there's nothing I can do then, I'll just have to show off a little more.
Chu Yi looked at Old Hua and asked, "Old Hua, do you think you have a chance to become a Biotics Man or a martial artist?"
"What?" Old Hua was startled, "Me? How could I possibly? Mr. Ji, please don't joke, I'm nearly seventy years old…"
In the past three years, weren't all the Biotics Men who awakened under the age of 25?
Not to mention martial artists, who need to start training from the age of six or seven.
Even including some Transcendent beings abroad, they were generally very young when they obtained their abilities.
To possess Transcendent powers at the age of sixty or seventy?
That was unheard of!
Wang Yunlong and the others felt the same way, not quite understanding what Chu Yi was up to.
Could it be that he intended to make Old Hua a martial artist or a Biotics Man on the spot?
How could that be possible?
But the next second, under their suddenly tense gazes,
Chu Yi raised his hand, flicked his finger, and a wisp of green light shot out from his fingertip, entering Old Hua's body.
Old Hua's expression changed slightly, "Mr. Ji, what are you…?"
Chen Xiaobai exclaimed, "Fuck! When my master helped me advance to SS rank last time, he shot a green light into my body just like this!"
As his words fell,
Before everyone could react,
"This… this…"
Old Hua's face showed a look of shock.
The wrinkles on his face were disappearing at a visible rate.
His white hair was quickly turning black.
In just a few breaths, he seemed to have rejuvenated by twenty years.
Not only that.
Wang Yunlong and the others could feel Old Hua's aura growing stronger.
He quickly transformed from an elderly man to one brimming with vitality and robust health.
"MY GOD!"
Wang Yunlong couldn't help but curse out loud, stunned, "An F-rank Biotics Man's aura?"
Qiu Dream and the others were also speechless.
In less than a minute, Old Hua's body had generated Alien Abilities!
Although the level was very low, at F-rank,
It was still a genuine Transcendent power!
For a moment, everyone looked at Chu Yi with eyes full of astonishment.
This was just outrageous!
He had casually shot a wisp of green light into Old Hua's body,
And in less than a minute, Old Hua, a man nearly seventy years old, had developed Transcendent powers?!
Was everything he said… true?
Fuck, it's really a divine move!
Wang Yunlong and the others felt their understanding shatter once again!
It was simply inconceivable!
"Mr. Ji, this… is truly shocking."
Old Hua, feeling his body now full of vigor, was unspeakably astonished.
He believed it now, truly believed it.
If even an elderly man like himself could become a Biotics Man in a minute,
Then wouldn't it be a piece of cake for the younger generation?
Old Hua couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
If this were the case, with Mr. Ji's help, could China truly achieve a nation of Biotics Men?
In that case, what would the martial arts world amount to?
The Alien Beast crisis would no longer be a concern!
Old Hua was somewhat excited, and in his heart, the importance of Chu Yi soared.
"It's good that you believe."
Seeing everyone's reaction as if they had witnessed a miracle,
Chu Yi revealed a satisfied smile; he had played his part well.
Then, he got straight to the point, "I can make it so that within a year, all of China will become Biotics Men or martial artists."
"But, my condition for cooperating with the government is that I must have absolute say in the education of Biotics Men; everything must be under my direct command."
Old Hua's smile froze, clearly not expecting such a demand.
Mr. Ji wanted not profit, but power?
This was a bit troublesome…
Moreover, the education and cultivation of Biotics Men involved China's future and development, even its lifeline.
Its importance was self-evident.
To entrust it all to one person…
Wouldn't that be like handing over China's lifeline to him?
To say there was no hesitation would be impossible.
Old Hua furrowed his brow, weighing the pros and cons.
Should he really grant Mr. Ji such terrifying power?
Chu Yi said, "Don't misunderstand, I just need full authority to arrange the education of Biotics Men; I couldn't care less about the rest."
If it weren't for the additional system rewards, he wouldn't even bother cooperating with the government.
Why take on so much work?
Isn't that just asking for trouble?
It would prevent him from being lazy!
Hearing this, Old Hua breathed a sigh of relief and after a moment of contemplation, nodded gravely, "Alright, Mr. Ji, I can agree to your request."
Even so, the power Chu Yi demanded was still tremendous.
Biotics Men were a strategic asset to modern-day China.
Thus, Chu Yi would not only obtain the power of the head of the Education Bureau but also be granted a high military rank.
At the very least, he would be at the level of a general.
With such power, he would stand at the pinnacle of China.
It was a difficult decision for Old Hua to make.
But now, did China have a second choice?
Mr. Ji was the best, and the only choice.
